Ofil's products are used in USA, Europe, South-America, Australia and Israel by electrical companies in applications such as high voltage transmission lines, distribution, substations, generators, motors, testing electrical trains, high voltage laboratories, polymer insulator manufacturers and by oil and gas refineries. Over 160 systems are in use worldwide.
Ofil maintains excellent customer relations and after-sale activities that include bi-annual UGM - user's group meetings for its users
Ofil is dedicated to customers' full satisfaction, and supplies in-house training and courses as well as refreshing courses.
Here are some reviews from customers:
David Eaton, San Diego Gas & Electric:
"...The airborne system worked very well. The DayCor Camera easily identified the areas that needed attention and allowed us to put our resources to better use.
The people at OFIL have been great to work with. I would recommend them and their camera"
Alan Lucas, Altalink Canada
" To this point we have been very impressed with the camera and are looking into getting a second unit and possibly a mounting for the helicopter"
Boris V. Ilinets, NASA
"Everyone who have seen the images on you camera screen was really impressed with the UV methodology and with your Company product. I am confident - the UV detection methods really need be effectively used in the electrical / power equipment diagnostics. Your DayCor camera can help us to increase the reliability of the power distribution system."
Ronald Ruff, BPA
" We find the DayCor to be very useful. The investigation with the interphase spacers helped us to determine that the failed insulator was not symptom of a system-wide problem. We didn't have to panic and change out all the interphase spacer which would have been very expensive. I think this one investigation paid for the machine."
Goran Olson, STRI
"STRI decided to buy the DayCor II after the evaluation period as we were convinced that this was the most suitable UV-camera for our applications.
We have been using the camera in our high-voltage lab to detect and eliminate unwanted discharges. I have had personally done some tests with a simultaneously connected instrument for partial discharge measurement. In the best conditions it was possible to see discharges as low as 5 - 7 pC!
We have also conducted a series of tests to check if it is possible to detect defects in composite line insulators. The result is encouraging and some experience has already been transferred to Ofil. One especially important fact for us, is that the camera is rather light and can easily be carried even if the terrain is not so friendly. I have personally done several tours with the camera without any problem.

David Eaton, SDG&E
"We have found the camera to be useful in finding problems with polymer insulators on our 230KV, 138KV and 69KV circuits. It is my belief that there should not be any corona on polymer insulators. Especially in the areas of the end fittings. Last month I looked at a 230KV line in the Mojave desert. It was built with Lapp polymers in 1989. Almost all of the corona rings had been installed incorrectly and there was enough corona activity on 29 poles for me to recommend replacing the insulators."
Dirk Borneburg, RWE
"We use the camera in our high voltage laboratory to identify problems with corona. In all cases the camera works very well and is very useful for documentation and identification of problems related to corona."
